Exciting Norwegian Record Attempt

In its latest experiment with live coverage, Norway's public broadcasting network plans to dedicate five hours of air-time to an attempt to break the knitting world record. NRK producer Rune Moeklebust said Friday that "it's kind of ordinary TV but very slow, although they'll be knitting as fast as they can." The NRK network says the Nov. 1 broadcast will be preceded by a four-hour documentary on how the wool off a sheep's back turns into a sweater.
